Wanna complain directly to Shapiro?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

No, no, not my point. See, I enjoy the clones very much and they are both a big benefit to our park. I meant that those other parks are not clones. Its safe to say B:TR and S:UF are included in our parks top 5 rides. But BTR isnt close at MM, and either BTR or SUF would take the number 5 spot at GA (sorry scream machine :lol:)
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.
Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel)

Can Batman really be called a clone? It was the first of it's kind. I would venture to say, all the other BTR's are clones, not ours.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

If they introduced them all the same year, then it's a clone, but not if it was separately introduced.

Is there a written definition of this somewhere?

Well, a clone would mean an exact copy, and last time I checked, all the BTRs and SUFs had mirror track layout.
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.

A clone is the same layout. It doesn't matter if they were released in the same year or even same chain. Great White at SeaWorld San Antonio is a clone of Batman. Also, when SFGAm got Batman, it was the first of it's kind and was not a clone.
